[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a 90s grad of uva. I drank wayyyy too much there, and it was exacerbated by:

the huge Greek culture as the main social scene
The idea that getting blackout drunk was somehow the norm or ok/many people doing it
My own stress I put on myself, and not knowing other ways to relax
Being a first gen college student, and not having parents warn me or understand the danger I was in.

I’m sure this craziness could have happened at another school, but uva made drinking a pretty bad situation. I have another family member by marriage that went around the same time and they had a similar experience.

I think drinking and getting into trouble with drinking at uva is avoidable, but the reputation is well deserved. [/quote]

A) that is a long time ago. The caliber of student (4.57 gpa, 34 ACT) can’t party like that and do well academically. They know that so don’t party like you did.
B) you chose to go with the Greek scene. UVA frats and sororities are off campus. You can have a very full life at UzVA without once setting foot inside a Greek house.
C) you chose to get black out drunk
D) you cannot blame this on being first-gebrrstion. I was one too. I chose not to drink

Life is all about making smart choices. Thst you made bad ones is your fault, not UVA’s.

FYI UVA no longer has that reputation [/quote]

UVA was well-known for grade inflation when I was in college.  Pretty much everyone had at least a 3.9gpa.  As were handed our like candy.[/quote]
